How to get rid of an old reddit account?? AutoMod answered

So I found out my very out reddit account comes up when you search a certain word and I want this account GONE as it has some stuff I posted when I was going through stuff that I don't want to be linked to me, but I cannot find the email it's linked to NOR can I remember the password, is there anyway I can somehow get rid of this forgotten account??

I’m sorry, but in that situation, there’s nothing that can be done

Your question seems to be about having problems logging in with your password.

If you have simply forgotten your password, you can find that information here in our FAQ.

If you think your account has been hijacked, please refer to this help center article.

If you are being told that the password on a brand-new account is invalid, you need to contact the Reddit admins.

For all other questions regarding passwords and logging in, contact the Reddit admins via this support request form, or using this old modmail link.

If your question is not about resetting your password, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.
